• do you need an anti virus?

  I was wondering if you really need an anti virus app on an android phone?

  -

  I would be this low on the priority list myself. No I do not know anyone on this forum who reported a problem.

  There are a few recent reports of new Android devices of shipping by PC virus on them. I guess it's possible that they may switch the unit to the PC but I don't really know. I heard that Motorola devices with this problem. (And hope that I never do!) I don't think I saw any problems with viruses attack the device Android itself.

  I did a quick search on the market and have not seen all of the virus apps. Is antivirus protection still available for Android?

• What anti-virus for Comcast email

  I have a Dell OptiPlex 3020 with Windows 7 Pro and recently changed my internet provider Comcast cable.  With cable Comcast is my internet provider, I use their own email Comcast as my e-mail program.  I use the regular version of Vipre as my antivirus.  I was wondering if the Vipre antivirus was check my emails so I contacted Vipre support to see if the Vipre AV was in fact checking my emails.  I was told that it wasn't the support Vipre agent.  So I called Comcast tech support to ask if Comcast was check my email and told me that I have to get their "Constant Protection" program in order to have my verified emails.  One of you have Comcast cable or any provider of cable internet and how are you going to have your emails monitored for virus content.  What programs antivirus will work with Comcast cable to monitor the emails of Comcast.  I would appreciate hearing back from any of you with suggestions on what to do and what might work for me.  I would like to know what antivirus, malware or any other safeguards you use with internet cable operators.  I love the format and layout of the Comcast E-Mail more Windows Live E-Mail and would rather continue to use Comcast email instead of download the Windows Live E-Mail.  Thanks for any help you can give me.

  Hi Pete, and welcome to the forum.

  Analysis of e-mail (as a separate item) is a layer of redundent in AVs these days. It's a little something of scareware used AVs market.

  Email infections occur when attachments or links to malicious software are open and written on your hard drive, not when the email is downloaded. If your AV real-time cannot detect malware at this point, his e-mail scanner does not detect it during the download, because both use the same signature database.

  I never activated mail scanning in many AVs I used over the years and have never been infected through this vector.

  I use Comcast, but doubt that their email should be treated differently. Currently the free AVs of avast and Panda Cloud are recommended by the regulars here. Their real-time protection will protect you from infections of e-mail, even if they do not use a separate email scanner.

• Cobra anti-virus for windows 7. 64 bit / hp pavilion dv6 notebook.

  Cobra CRM 2010 antivirus = which is version 4 of the difference and version14

  Hi lilcurt,

  I have difficulties to find the company you want to say.

  Here is the info on the Antivirus of Cobra products (but not CRM and it only mentions 2011 and not talking about version numbers, but I guess that support for 2010 would be in the same place): http://soft.rafusoft.net/contact-us/.

  Cobra CRM version 14 seems to be Customer Relationship Management software and has nothing to to with antivirus, but here's some information on it: http://www.microsoft.com/Windows/compatibility/windows-7/en-us/Details.aspx?type=Software&p=cobra%20CRM%202010&v=cobra&uid=14&l=en&pf=2&pi=1&c=Enterprise%20Applications&sc=Customer%20Relationship%20Management%20(CRM)&os=64-bit.  If you encounter difficulties due to language problems, then try to download Bing Translator http://bing-translator.en.softonic.com/ to help with translations.

  If you want to say something, then I recommend that you ask them if you have spotted as they know a lot more about it as we do (and if you want a personal opinion for what it's worth - although I probably will not be able to answer your specific question, but could you please provide a link to the site where this software is sold for I can see what you're talking about).  The version of this magnitude breaks mean that you are talking about something completely different (applicable to a different operating system or by offering different features as in a relation to an internet security suite anti-virus program) - but that is just a personal observation, and honestly, I have no idea whatsoever.  I have personally never heard of this product before (and if it is above, so not what you think it is or from what I've read, I would say that you will get limited support at best and no am not impressed and could find nothing for 2010-2011 or "CRM" or versions).  Here again, it may be perfectly fine, but I would never install it on my computer or produced one of my clients up to what many others research and even then, I would choose MSE instead because I think it is the best choice for AV protection available what it says.  And with MSE, you have much more support (including this forum, but much too) so it's going to be a very reputable company and it won't cost you a penny.

  And in case you're wondering, no I don't work for Microsoft or have no affiliation with them at all.  I don't even own Microsoft stock.  If you choose to use MSE is entirely up to you - I'm just giving my personal opinion as just another user who is experienced in this field and help often people here freely as a volunteer.  I'm not 'push' MSE on you because you are in the MSE forum, but because I truly believe it is the best choice (and it's FREE, I'm not sure is the case with Cobra) and if MSE is not to your taste, I can suggest several others that are FREE and offer excellent protection.  In my humble OPINION, there is no reason in the world to pay for virus protection when what I consider the best options available (free or paid) are free indeed.  And I see no reason to choose a brand that is so hard to find (which suggests something suspicious or that it doesn't have a lot of more or that the support will be minimal when you most need or that it is not very popular - but I don't know because I have never heard of him before and how long I've been in the business that should tell you something right there).  But we cannot offer advice - the decision is yours.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

  It is not necessary and I had that confirmed by my company, because there is no virus attacking BB.

  I'm intrigued as to the need to use the BB as a modem for your PC. I see the advantage of using it as a modem for a laptop.
